Will Guillory of The Athletic

The worst-kept secret in the NBA is that Gentry’s time with the Pelicans won’t last much longer.

If the beat writer for your team at The Athletic is saying it I have to believe there is some validity.

As I said in the other thread, this 100% means that Griffin is feeling out agents of a number of coaches to see who will be available.

Yeah and all of the agents know, so they are trying to get their clients name out there whether they are in the mix or not.

Kidd’s name has been thrown around for multiple jobs in the past few days. It’s totally shameless.

Chris Dodson who works for Forbes Sports and has legit info on stadium naming rights in the past thinks its coming too.

Unless every tea leaf and source has me twisted up like some Colorado state flower, I believe the Pelicans will not announce anything on Gentry until Friday. The team is flying home Thursday night immediately after the eighth game is completed. No extra days to see Epcot.

Not sure about that. Not saying there is no validity to it, but local media has never had a good grasp of this team's inner workings. Especially now that Griffin has taken over

Guillory is usually the henpecked status quo mouth piece so I’ll believe it

This will be a highly wanted job and the FO needs to get the hire right. If they have known they were going to fire him for a while there is probably already a name in mind or a short list.

Spill the beans friend.

I'll listen to your next 10 podcasts if you do.

Are you saying there's at least a little bit of smoke with regards to Kidd?

He's tweeted a couple of times cryptically about Kidd since the Woj tweet.

I haven't had a chance to listen to the pod much this week so I don't know if he talks about it. Just haven't had a chance.

I just mentioned in the other thread that I didn't know who should replace Calipari in my signature image. It's sounding like Jason Kidd is the frontrunner.

I'm not going to lie. If they hire Kidd, all of my joy about Gentry being fired will evaporate.

I don't think Kidd is as bad of a coach as Gentry. He's actually been alright at times. But his teams all seem to dramatically improve when he's gone.
